Financial Information
In 2019, the School undertook a comprehensive review of our Tuition Fees, levies and charges. With a strong record of sound financial management, the School was in a position to offer a more affordable fee structure from 2020. This new fee structure, together with the School’s generous sibling discounts has made PCACS more affordable for all families.
To simplify the Fees and Charges structure, we consolidated several levies into a single Resource Levy. This levy incorporates the cost of excursions, incursions and Year specific activities such as Junior School swimming lessons. The P&F Fundraising Levy and Building Levy apply to families not for each enrolment. Camps, Senior School ICT Levy and VET fees may apply according to the Year group or subject selections.
The School offers discounts for eligible Health Care Card or Pension Card holders. To determine eligibility please review the criteria for the
Tuition Discount Scheme. If you are eligible please visit the Finance Office at the Wellard Campus to apply, or email the finance office for a form.
